An F1 Theme song, but for whom?

[xpensive]

I been run down, I been lied to,
I don't know why I let that mean woman make me a fool.
She took all my money, wrecked my new car.
Now she's with one of my goodtime buddies,
They're drinkin' in some crosstown bar.

Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel,
Like I been tied to the whipping post,
Tied to the whipping post,
Tied to the whipping post,
Good lord, I feel like I'm dyin'.

My friends tell me, that I've been such a fool,
And I have to stand by and take it baby, all for lovin' you.
Drown myself in sorrow, and I look at what you've down.
But nothin' seems to change, the bad times stay the same,
And I can't run.

Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel,
Like I been tied to the whipping post
Tied to the whipping post,
Tied to the whipping post,
Good lord, I feel like I'm dyin'.

Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel,
Like I been tied to the whipping post
Tied to the whipping post,
Tied to the whipping post,
Good lord, I feel like I'm dyin'.

Zappa!!!

As a guitar player and guitar geek i should know what.

[xpensive]

I was thinking more like Ron Dennis tied in MrM's dungeon?

[DaveKillens]

Allman Brothers, song "Whipping Post".

Love the guitar work in this song.

Correct of course DK, but who would you paste it on in today's F1 world?

[bjpower]

good old max has my vote

[gibells]

Seb singing about Hymie

[Henning]

Who is Hymie?

[DaveKillens]

Correct of course DK, but who would you paste it on in today's F1 world?

Based on the opening ...

I been run down, I been lied to,
I don't know why I let that mean woman make me a fool.
She took all my money

I was thinking of Bernie. Hard to feel sympathy for him, though.

[xpensive]

Somehow I can't get my mind off Ron Dennis when reading the entire lyrics.
Lost everything, woman, car and tied to MrM's whipping post forever?

[gibells]

Who is Hymie?

It's the correct pronounciation of Jaime. Not like an English Jamie.

[xpensive]

What do you think DK, we should try to find "Whipping post" on Youtube and secretly tie it to this web-site? Or better still, as a classic southern-band, perhaps it would work for USGPE?

[DaveKillens]

Both cool ideas, and it would be fun and entertaining. I was doing some thinking on what I consider a song representative of Formula One. I was considering Guns 'n Roses "Welcome to the Jungle"..

But my personal choice is an old Queen song. The pace and lyrics are incredible. First time I heard it was when I was slot-car racing, and I never forget the rush that tune gave me. Keep Yourself Alive

I was told a million times
Of all the troubles in my way
How I had to keep on trying
Little better evry day
But if I crossed a million rivers
And I rode a million miles
Then Id still be where I started
Bread and butter for a smile
Well I sold a million mirrors
In a shop in alley way
But I never saw my face
In any window any day
Well they say your folks are telling you
To be a super star
But I tell you just be satisfied
To stay right where you are

Keep yourself alive keep yourself alive
Itll take you all your time and a money
Honey youll survive

Well Ive loved a million women
In a belladonic haze
And I ate a million dinners
Brought to me on silver trays
Give me evrything I need
To feed my body and my soul
And Ill grow a little bigger
Maybe that can be my goal
I was told a million times
Of all the people in my way
How I had to keep on trying
And get better evry day
But if I crossed a million rivers
And I rode a million miles
Then Id still be where I started
Still be where I started

Keep yourself alive keep yourself alive
Itll take you all your time and money honey
Youll survive

Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
Itll take you all your time and money
To keep me satisfied
Do you think youre better evry day
No I just think Im two steps nearer to my grave
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive mm
You take your time and take your money
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
All you people keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
Itll take you all your time and a money
To keep me satisfied
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
All you people keep yourself alive
Take you all your time and money honey
You will survive

Keep you satisfied
Keep you satisfied

You were slot-car racing DK? No ---, I was considered a semi-pro myself in the 70s, took part in the first official World championships in Gothenburg, Sweden in 1978.
